Shrinking Violets - Part 5!

[Haydee 2]

Heather, I'm the same way as you. I can't eat much before noon but after that?? Small livestock beware! I'm going for a fill this Saturday. Last time she wouldn't give me anything because she said I was tight tight tight, but again, this was at 8am. If i'm tight tight tight how do I manage to eat a WHOLE burger, two Buns? ?

And by the way the lamb recipe sounds delish even though i don't like lamb. I would make it with stew meat! Can you email me the recipe? Could I serve it with cous cous??

pammy - sorry about your shitty day with your fridge. That totally sucks!!! I would take your friends advice and you and susanne go down there and play good cop bad cop, LOL...

Judy - saw that you backed up your hard drive. i've never done that! should i just to be safe? How much was your thingy that you bought to use as the back up thinger?

jane - did you get your cpap machine fixed up?

Good afternoon, Violets..

Well, the letter to the Board is sent. Now just sit back and wait to see the results.

PamELa... hope you get the fridge fiasco resolved quickly.

Haydee...I didn't have that much that I couldn't afford to lose... just the Microsoft Money program and I have that saved on a scandisk.. 1 GB. You can get them for less than $20 at Walmart or any store like that. I burned all the pictures to a CD. Everything else I can restore if I lose it except for my outlook express email addresses. I know there's a way to import them from another computer so I'll have to look into that. Other than that, I've saved what I need.

Heather... Beans and I do not make nice. I eat chili with no beans, nachos without refried beans and absolutely no bean soup...yuck. And the bobster and I do not agree on 99% of the things in our life, but we've been together for 40.5 years so it must be true that opposites attract.

Had some deli turkey and cheese for lunch. Steamfresh meal for supper. I got 10 coupons from ebay for bogo Steamfresh meals. I got 8 packages for the price of 4 last night and got $5 off 10 boxes of drink mix. Sweet!!!!

Zumba in 3 hours. Time to take another Tylenol.

What a day...the fridge is on the bust...second time in 2 years...I BOUGHT IT IN NOV. 07!!!

Work is crazy...this girl showed her "privates" to another girl...but not all of the privates..."JUST THE HAIR"!!!:thumbup: Try being me and having to keep a straight face!

LAWD...GIVE ME STRENGTH...HAVE A MEETING UNTIL 3...THEN ANOTHER ONE AT 6PM.

Oh yea...the fridge pain is worse because I spent $850 dollars yesterday shopping! (Saved $500 in gift cards from graduation...but $350 of my own, and Sus dropped $500.). Then came home to a broken fridge...:drool:

Good evening, Violets..

PamELa... sorry to hear about your fridge.. Did you vacuum the coils???

Zumba was a challenge again tonight, but good news.. they are offering a Zumba Gold class starting tomorrow at 9. It's for old farts. I'm going to go and see what it's like and see if it might suit me better. I did 45 minutes again tonight, but feel bad that I can't do all the jumping and hip hopping. My knee just can't take that. Hopefully the Zumba Gold will be more my style.

Also I'll be able to babysit Grady on Thursday nights, though won't be able to go to class with Kris. But she does really well with it all and loves it, so she won't miss me being there with her.

Off to watch some tv including CSI and Project Runway.

Everyone have a good evening. sleep well.

Okay, I found the manual for the technician to use, he accidently left it at my house, and found how to disarm the alarm!! Yea!!!!!

Think I can sleep? ????????????????

Maybe too much coffee today?????

Just think Pamela in 1 1/2 hours tomorrow will be here!!! New day and end of work week!!

Saw Glee last night, that was so nice!! I sort of liked seeing the softer side of Sue!!

Why did they not show Shay on biggest Loser at the end like they do all the other people? They just showed her going home and that was it? Then they showed Daniel today and then the program ended... But really how can you lose 17 pounds and get kicked off for a low weight loss?????????????????????????????? Wow!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I am going to try to sleep again, NIGHTY NIGHT!!!!

[irishmae11 0]

Janie, I said the same thing....Amanda only lost 5 lbs......They did show Shay on Jay Leno, and she looked really good....she had lost 115 or 150...can't remember...so did Daniel....look really good...ah well, it's late here too....

Good Friday morn, girls~~

Am finally getting my hair cut today... it's been a long time since the last cut and it shows! I'm just tired of my blah hair and want something cute & sassy but don't know what, so I've procrastinated about it... 'til now, when it's driving me crazy!

I'm also probably going to give my general doc a call this a.m.... I've had this sharp pain / pressure headache on & off for a couple weeks now... I keep thinking it'll go away, and it does for a day or so, but then it comes back... I've tried sinus headache meds, regular headaches meds, and nothing helps! I hate hate hate going to the doc, as everything becomes such an ordeal "go get bloodwork, do this do that"... I just want to go, know what's wrong, & get it fixed... bleh. But it really hurts and I'm starting to scare myself imagining what it might be (I always do that, what a goof) so that's when I know it's time to go.

Didn't realize I was such a Debbie Downer 'til I just re-read all that. Sorry.

Well, each of YOU have a good day! Me, I'll just keep plugging along!

Good morning, Violets..

I'm up early to get ready for Zumba Gold this morning. I sure hope it works better for me. I love the exercise, but my knee keeps reminding me how old I really am.

Michelle.. Purple power surrounding you today. I'll be thinking of you while you're at the docs. And don't forget to take pics of the new do!

Off to have a little Breakfast before I go Zumba-ing. I have a luncheon with church ladies at 11:30 so just enough time for a shower in between, thank goodness, or I'd have to sit at a table by myself.

Everyone have a great day. Be good to yourselves.

[kity 2]

Hey Girlies~

Michelle...good luck at docs. I do that too. I have a "this or that" and think..."i am going to die!" Good juju heading your way!!

Judy...can't wait to hear about Zumba Gold! Sounds like a better membership anyway.

I didn't work out again...it is not the workout that I hate...it is just the time. We stayed up until 9 watching Survivor (omg...I LOVE Russ...hope he takes it all) then I watched CSI. I had a meeting last night and came home at 7:30, ate something ( I don't dare mention)and a whole diet coke. My peepers were not shuting at all!!

Well today is the day God created for me!!! I emailed him and confirmed too. I love Fridays. I have a date...not sure what yet, but we will hang out.

I'll pop in from work. I am teaching my kids Heal the World by Micheal Jackson (ya'll heard he died, right). It is such a beautiful song...sounds BEST with children's voices!

peaceout violettas!

Good morning!

I will say Russell is smart and gets his way in coniving, but HE DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!!!!! Can someone really be that mean and heartless??????????????

Michelle, purple power to you!!!!!!!!!!!

[Teachlady 3]

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!! And Zumba Gold is PERFECT!!! It's only a half hour and we do some of the same stuff the regular Zumba-ers do, but not so intense. I really, really enjoyed it! I was actually one of the younger ladies there so that tells ya how old the rest of them were!!! Afterwards Becky asked me how it was and I said, just great and I would stick with the Friday class. She said she'd miss me in the Thursday class. I said she'd be calling 911 if I tried to do what they were doing.

Off to the showers to get ready for the church ladies luncheon. hmmmmmm wonder what the topic of discussion will be today...??

No feedback on the document we sent to the board yesterday other than one board member saying it needed to be sent to the Pastor too. There is no joy in Mudville lately.

But the Zumba really cleared my mind and got me pumped for the day.

I had a few bites of a breakfast burrito before I left and took the rest with me, but knew as soon as I got down the road, that I needed to pb. As soon as I got to the gym, I headed for the bathroom and up it came. Soooo at least I didn't have that sitting in my throat during class.

I hope to take a walk with Ethan today. It's so beautiful out. Only 37 degrees, but the sun is shining and there isn't a hint of snow. That calls for a wooooo hoooooo when you live in Northern Michigan.

Okay, I found the manual for the technician to use, he accidently left it at my house, and found how to disarm the alarm!! Yea!!!!!

Think I can sleep? ????????????????

l

Were you able to sleep last night???????

[mdrai 3]

Hey... back from haircut... nothing fabulous... just shorter & I can see again now that my bangs aren't down to the end of my nose... whatever...

I am in such a funk.

My head hurts so bad I could just burst out in tears at any second... good thing I have such a high tolerance for pain... I've been "ignoring" this for about a week and a half now... that's my "it'll go away on it's own" approach. I broke down & called just now & have an app't @ 11:30... I just want something to stop this feeling... it's a cross between sharp pain, like someone was jabbing me in the head w/an ice pick, and pressure, like my head is being squeezed in a vise... lovely, eh? & It's mostly behind my eyes/nose & ears... ow ow ow. But I don't have any congestion, drip, etc... just the pain. Make it stop!

Pam... I love that thought "This is the day God has made for me."

Judy... just saw that you posted... so glad that this Zumba is better!

Ok, off to get ready to go out again...

[Daisalana 33]

Michelle- Any chance it's bad Rx on your new glasses???? Or just adjusting to a new Rx? I know I get headaches when I get new glasses for several months.

I have been rocking out my Christmas music for 2 days now, I am SO READY. I luvre Christmas.

[kity 2]

I LOVE Xmas music!!! Susanne can't stand the way I walk around places singing songs at the top of my lungs, but i don't care!

Michelle, sorry to hear this. I am glad your getting an appt. Could be Blood pressure too...do you take meds? I do...and now bp is PERFECT...and chlorestoral is PERFECT (people would kill for this, kinda perfect...that is what doc says). I am glad you'll get some answers. As I see the time, you are going there now...good luck.

So Jane...did you sleep? ??

Haydee...whats up busy girl?

Laura...are you eating...what is up in your world o quiet one!
